Dewer. More please.
Quick post today, sorry folks. So I know little about this Swede and have very little media from him. I am going to take this opportunity to send this over to you my readers…find more Dewer! Or if you know any info on him, post in the comments. I have been listening for a couple…

Side A, flip, repeat – the playlist
Hmmm…records…not recordings, but records. Thing of the past or recently making a comeback? One thing as the so called “mp3 generation” we lose the ability to have two sides to music (and actual hold in your hands media). Not necessarily that the music has a formal beginning and an ending as both sides simply may…

Joanne Robertson – The Lighter (2008)
The new album from Joanne Robertson currently out on Textile Records is currently my favourite lo-fi female singer songwriter spinning my iTunes. This album is bleak, stark, ominous and incredibly good, I mean I am not going to cover something I don’t like…I don’t think. I am starting to digress as I can’t think of…

If You Haven’t Heard – Ghosts I’ve Met
Well here we are at the 3rd installment of “If You Haven’t Heard” and I have some beautiful Americana ballads from “Ghosts I’ve Met”. So put down your whiskey and grab the one that you want to hang onto and press play, you won’t be disappointed. Sam Watts is the heart of this “rotating cast”…

Quintin Nadig’s Sunday beauty
Two Beautiful examples of sparse independent music this blustery (well where I am at least) Sunday. I need better headphones… But I digress, so the other week, I was perusing the internet (like a good blogger) and looking for something to sink my teeth into. I found it in Quintin Nadig’s two releases “Anchor Details”…

Why isn’t this guy famous? (Pt II) – Brown Bird
Sorry for not posting yesterday, it should wet your appetite for a great post…well people, it looks to have all worked out then….everyone, I give you; Brown Bird (or David Lamb) has been around officially for the last 5 years (maybe a bit more actually…), but is finally getting his credit where it has been…

Chriss Sutherland – Who is this guy, no really?
So I admit I am a bit late on this one….2007 release from Chriss Sutherland “Me in a ‘field’”. I found it via a commenter on this blog (Time Fades Away Blog) and a post they had from this past January – they had posted “La Familia” from this album. I, of course, immediately went…

Anomie Belle – Sleeping Patterns (2008)
It has been a bit of a “off centre” Slowcoustic Weekend. This isn’t a bad thing, just taking some time to listen to some music that isn’t just an acoustic guitar and accompanying voice. With that in mind, I bring you the next installment of the growth of the site – Anomie Belle – not…

Liz Durrett – Outside Our Gates (2008)
New releases from many bands and artists hit the proverbial shelves today, September 9th, 2008 (why are Tuesdays big album release dates anyway…) and outside some of the expected hits, I have found a great little gem that I didn’t expect – Liz Durrett’s “Outside Our Gates“! While I have not been on the Liz…

Blackwood Hymnal has left us too soon…
So I am sure you can figure out from the title of this post that this group had perished in a fiery tour bus crash in 2001…okay not really, they just have moved on to other things and are no longer recording. Seriously though, was that last line not a start for an incredible blog…
